Make a lasting impact: rebuild your own education

Sem01 (2026-2027) Rebuilding Education

If you have the power to create a new future-proof course, what will it look like?

Traditionally, our time in classrooms and lecture halls positions students as passive participants—listening, watching, consuming—rather than empowering them as active creators who design, analyze, and build. In this course, you will:

  1. Explore a range of academic perspectives on educational innovation.
  2. Redesign existing courses and develop entirely new ones.

The mission is bold: to bring student-designed education into real classrooms. Some of the courses developed in this course may be taught as early as the upcoming academic year—giving your ideas the chance to make a real-world impact.

For more information and course details, go to 'Curriculum' at the top of the page.

Comments from students

"Participating in this course allowed me to express myself in various ways while also learning a lot about a topic that is not easily accessible to students.”

“Not only you can improve your skills on writing and presenting in this course, you can also broaden your horizon and you can actually make an impact.”

“This interactive course really gets the students to think critically, also collaborate with professors to create the assignments.”
